The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 343 Cheng Han and Jin Ting

In contrast to Zhang Mao's decisive decision, Li Xiong in Chengdu summoned Li Xiang, Li Yu, Fan Bi, Yan Shi, Wang Da, Zhao Su and others. Li Xiong said: "Liu Tai reestablished Yan in Chang'an. The Han Dynasty is very powerful. I have been elected by everyone to direct all affairs in Shu. What do you think we should make? Should we submit to the Yan Han Dynasty or defend it?"

Li Xiang came forward and said: "It has been a hundred years since the fall of the Yan Han Dynasty (calculated based on Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty giving up the throne). Although it is now revived, it may not be able to dominate the world. And if our ministers surrender, they will surrender, but Your Majesty is If the Nine-Five Lord is surrendered, something unexpected will happen."

Li Xiang naturally did not want to surrender. After all, Chenghan could be said to be the foundation that the Ba Di people had finally won. Why should you, the Han emperor, have to wait for others to surrender as soon as he appeared? Li Xiang would definitely not be willing to do so anyway.

Seeing the clan ministers expressing their stance, Prime Minister Fan Bi also said decisively: "The land of Bashu is protected by high mountains. As long as we guard it tightly, even Liu Tai with thousands of troops will not be able to enter easily.

The Shu Han Dynasty has a national longevity of more than 50 years due to its geographical advantage. If Jiang Wei hadn't wasted the country's strength in an unprovoked conquest, I'm afraid it might not have been destroyed by now. Now we can just stick to one convenience. "

Fan Bi naturally didn't like Liu Tai's policies towards wealthy families.

After all, the land in Bashu is different from the land in Xiliang. Because of the existence of Dujiangyan, it can be said to be thousands of miles of fertile land and extremely rich.

The wealthy family just gave in a little when facing Zhuge Liang. As soon as Zhuge Liang died, the Shu faction reoccupied the court at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Why did all the courtiers choose to remain silent when Liu Chan finally asked everyone about his policy? It was because they were all from the Shu faction.

For them, it doesn't matter who is their lord, as long as their land and family knowledge can be passed down.

Not to mention that the nine-level Zhongzheng system of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was in line with their appetite. In this case, what were they resisting?

They wished that the Wei and Jin Dynasties would come in earlier, so that they could feel the light of the family lighthouse and enjoy the gentry politics earlier.

Therefore, neither the soldiers nor the civil servants agreed to surrender to the Yan Han.

Even though Li Xiong was a soft person, he couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that his clan and ministers were united.

After all, Shu has never been easy to fight since ancient times. Not to mention how long Cao Wei fought against Shu and Han, even if Liu Xiu mastered the art of defeating Gongsun in the world, he would still have lost his troops and generals.

Of course, not only Li Xiong of Chenghan heard the news, but Sima Shao also had a headache when he heard the news.

But what is different from Li Cheng is that although Sima Shao is the emperor, the power of the government is still in Wang Dun's hands. For Sima Shao, getting rid of Wang Dun is his top priority.

As for Liu Tai's proclaiming himself emperor and establishing Yanhan, let's leave it a little later.

Anyway, it's not him who is facing Liu Tai's pressure now. This is a headache for Wang Dun. Of course, Wang Dun thinks so too.

All in all, because the Jin court had two divisions of fame and power, they did not feel much about the power of Liu Tai's founding of Yanhan.

After all, my biggest problem now is that one is thinking about whether he wants to be emperor, and the other is thinking about how to eradicate traitors. It can only be said that no one has time to pay attention to Liu Tai until one of them falls.

At this time, Liu Tai also saw Cui Yue bringing Zhang Jun back, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I really didn't expect that although I had always heard people say that Zhang Mao was generally knowledgeable and decisive, he didn't expect to be so good at making decisions.

How can I attack him now?

Liu Tai looked at Zhang Jun and said, "Did your uncle ask you to make any plans after coming to Chang'an?"

"Uncle Lingjun, respect your Majesty's will, uphold your loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and do what a minister should do!" Zhang Jun answered calmly.

"In that case, there are three ways here!" Liu Tai looked at Zhang Jun and replied, "You can join the army, become my soldier, and serve as my sword and shield. You can also study history, carry a wolf hair in hand, remember the history of the Qing Dynasty, or you can go to school. Read books, take imperial examinations, and finally be selected to become talents!”

"Jun is willing to fight for your majesty and practice the power of sword and shield!" Zhang Jun said frankly to Liu Ming.

Whether in troubled times or in the Han family, military success has always been the unswerving pursuit of the Han people.

Because of this, for Zhang Jun, either becoming a military historian or taking the exam to become a civil servant are not the best choices.

Naturally, he chose to become a soldier, obtain military exploits, and then strive for the position of a marquis.

Liu Tai nodded after hearing Zhang Jun's words: "Since you have made a decision, I will place you under my Tiger Army. I believe you will definitely become the best among them!"

"I will not disappoint His Majesty!" Zhang Jun's eyes lit up when he heard Liu Tai's words, and he replied decisively.

The so-called Huben Army was naturally the headquarters brought up by Liu Tai, and now it has become Liu Tai's personal guard. Even Liu Tai's usual security work is still handled by the Huben Army.

Arranging Zhang Jun here not only trains Zhang Jun, but also makes it convenient for him to observe Zhang Jun up close.

"Taoru, take him to report to Liu Ming, and tell Liu Ming his identity clearly, lest Liu Ming drill him to death!" Liu Tai told Cui Yue.

"Yes!" Cui Yue heard Liu Tai's words and naturally agreed, leading Zhang Jun away.

To be honest, Cui Yue not only asked Zhang Mao to agree to the terms of trade, but also sent Zhang Jun to her, which Liu Tai did not expect.

Liu Tai understood very well that Zhang Mao felt that he was a minister of the Jin Dynasty, so he chose to continue to resist. But after his death, he had Zhang Jun in his hands, and it would be easy to take back Liangzhou.

Liu Tai respected Zhang Mao's choice, and he actually had no intention of conquering Xiliang in the short term.

There is no way, my core area is in Hebei, and Chang'an and Luoyang, where I am now, are all in need of development.

Now the cost of conquering Xiliang is too high, so if he wants to conquer Liangzhou, he must either wait until the canal from Luoyang to Xingyang and the road from Luoyang to Chang'an are repaired first, or build the Zhengbai Canal first.

Therefore, it is also very important for Liu Tai to follow Zhang Mao's private deal at this moment and make the two sides temporarily peaceful.

Liu Tai then ordered the people to recuperate and recuperate, and encouraged people to learn about mulberry farming. In particular, various productivity-improving tools, planting techniques, and the book "Essentials for Elevating the People" also began to be consciously promoted.

For example, the students in the Qingzhou Agricultural College established by Wang Pei basically became students and were immediately dispatched to various government soldiers to become agricultural officers under the ninth grade. Although they were the lowest officials, they were well established as soon as they came out.

Therefore, although the aristocratic families look down upon it, it is highly desirable for the poor families at the bottom, and even for the real common people.

After years of training, these people are now going to the land occupied by Liu Tai like dandelions to teach the local people how to plant them. And this is naturally not driven by the meager salary of the ninth grade. Only the intertwined stance of Han chauvinism and nationalism can allow these people to devote their youth without regrets.

But no matter what, their presence allowed Liu Tai to persuade farmers to cultivate mulberry trees and implement agricultural policies in a truly targeted manner. The most direct result was an increase in output.

Of course, even if the yield is increased, soil fertility needs to be taken into consideration, but even Liu Tai can't do anything about this.

Until Tian Zhen came to see him, Liu Tai thought of asking Tian Zhen to go out to sea to look for islands where he encountered guano.

If there is any, bring some bird droppings over in the future and let students from Qingzhou University try to use the bird droppings as fertilizer and try planting to see if the crops can grow better.

Naturally, Tian Tian didn't know the function of this thing, but when he knew that this thing could make the crops grown reach three stones or even four stones, his eyes turned red.

After all, Tian Tian was the commander of the refugee army, and he knew exactly how many people could be fed by cultivating crops as far as four stones, so he immediately patted his chest to express that he would definitely solve the problem.

Liu Tai nodded. This kind of thing is relatively long-term after all. He hopes that when he unifies the world, these agricultural officials can research what kind of bird droppings and what kind of crops can be planted to increase production.

After all, there is almost no foundation in basic subjects. If you want to realize knowledge, you can only experiment little by little.

However, compared to agriculture, Liu Tai, who came to Chang'an, immediately summoned Xu, who was in charge of elementary education.

When Mrs. Xu saw Liu Tai, she immediately knelt down and said, "I have met Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Liu Tai looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "I summoned you today because the elementary schools in various places are entrusted to you to manage, and I asked you to build orphanages in the elementary schools to take in abandoned babies from various families. Especially baby girls.

If the local people are unwilling to adopt them, but choose to abandon them, or drown them, all of them will be handed over to you for adoption, and the court will allocate funds for their upbringing. "

"Your Majesty's Holy Grace!" After hearing Liu Tai's words, Mrs. Xu immediately knelt down and answered Liu Tai.

Liu Tai waved his hand and said: "After these girls complete elementary school in the local area, they will be redistributed based on their test scores.

Among them, those with good grades will go to higher-level counties to study or learn specialized skills. If not, go to the surrounding counties to find a job with a girl to settle down.

All in all, don't stay in your place of origin to avoid causing trouble.

After these women reach the age of sixteen, if they fail to pass the imperial exams such as female teachers, female doctors, female geishas, ​​etc., they will begin to be arranged to be married to single fubingzhanbingwuwei in the surrounding area in order to continue the equalization of land and the fubing system! "

"Ms. Xu understands!" Ming Xu agreed after hearing Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai waved his hand and let Xu go down.

For Liu Tai, as he re-establishes Yanhan, he needs to prepare for the restoration of China.

The most important thing in this period is the recovery of the population.

To be honest, Liu Tai does not want to promote population recovery through policies. After all, policies often have a lag, and by the time he wants to make a U-turn, it is often too late.

If you want to restore the population naturally, you must solve the marriage problem of the people.

For example, we try our best to save baby girls who have been rejected for various reasons, so that these baby girls can survive and receive books such as "Hanshu", "Nine Chapters", "Nvxian" and "Nvjie" to educate these women.

I don't ask how each of these educated women will become talented, but using them to stabilize the military system and soldiers is a way to ensure long-term peace and stability in the Han Dynasty in the future.

After all, it is natural to attach great importance to the country's armed forces. Simply put, as long as you become a soldier, the country will take care of everything from your birth to your burial, and even your future marriage.

As long as the country firmly controls its armed forces, no matter how bad the country's situation is, it will not be without the power to make a comeback.

Of course, this is just a casual move to lay out the future.

After all, no matter whether it is a soldier or a soldier with such a high status, aristocratic families may not give them their daughters, but for the people at the bottom, if their daughter marries them, it is basically as if they have passed the exam. The preparation is the same.

Therefore, both government soldiers and soldiers are in high demand.

It's just that ordinary people mostly pursue marriages with soldiers, while poor families look for soldiers and village chiefs. As for aristocratic families, even if they are concubines, they look for qu chiefs or school captains. Each has its own goals.

However, Liu Tai knew very well that the war would eventually end. When the war ended, the status of the soldiers would change if there was no war. So by arranging this, he would be able to protect the soldiers.

After establishing protection for the soldiers at the bottom, Liu Tai approached Chu Hui and Zhang Song and said, "I want to establish a stock market in Luoyang!"

"Stock market? What is the stock market?!" Chu Hui and Zhang Song heard Liu Tai's words, but they were a little confused.

Liu Taize said: “When the meritorious system was first established, wasn’t it so that marquises above the Marquis of Guannei would be eligible for stock market licenses?

Aren't you all wondering why this is used, and having the title of Marquis of Guannai is the ticket to the stock market.

To put it simply, if businessmen want to do a big project but don’t have enough capital, they need to issue shares in the stock market to raise funds. If people recognize that this project can make money, they will acquire the businessman’s shares. If people do not recognize this project, then naturally No one bought it.

But if you want to enter the stock market, you need someone to guarantee it, and the minimum status of the guarantor is Guannai Hou. This is the stock market admission ticket.

At the same time, the guarantor unconditionally holds 5% of the shares. Like the businessman, he is not allowed to sell the shares, borrow money, or make any other transactions within five years.

But you can buy and sell freely after five years. If you want to take back the license and sell all the stocks in your hand, then the businessman needs to find a new guarantor. "

When Liu Tai said this, he sighed: "It is said that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook. To be honest, my Han family has always been kind to the heroes, so I thought about how to give them long-term wealth and honor if the world is unified in the future."

"Now that the Han Dynasty has not been destroyed and the Jin court is still there, the king should aim at unification. As for these kings who are still young, they can wait until they unify the world before thinking about it carefully!"

At this time, Chu Hui couldn't help but said to Liu Tai, "I believe that by then I will think more completely!"

"Well..." Liu Tai nodded after hearing Chu Hui's words. It seems that Chu Hui wants to postpone this matter, so he should establish the stock market first and then further open the license!
